(HBO) - The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has organized a Ceremony to present the title of State Honor "Excellent Artisan" in the intangible field.
Hoa Binh Province has 10 individuals which were awarded the title "Excellent Artisans".
Pursuant to the Decision No. 355/QD-CTN on March 8, 2019 of the President on conferring the title of State Honor "Excellent Artist" in the field of intangible objects. Hoa Binh Province has 10 individuals which were awarded the title "Excellent Artisans" for their outstanding contributions to preserving and promoting the intangible cultural heritage of the nation.
Including: Mr. Quach Van Dao in Sao Bay commune (Kim Boi); Mrs. Bach Thi Dao in Son Thuy commune (Kim Boi); Mr. Bui Dang Chieng in Kim Tien commune (Kim Boi); Mr. Nguyen Van Dan in Ha Bi commune (Kim Boi); Mr. Tran Manh Hung in Thanh Nong commune (Lac Thuy); Mr. Bui Ngoc Thuan in Thu Phong commune (Cao Phong); Mr. Luong Duc Chom in Trung Thanh commune (Da Bac); Mr. Ly Van Honh in Cao Son commune (Da Bac); Mr. Bui Van Khan in Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac) and Mr. Dinh Cong Tinh in My Hoa commune (Tan Lac).
As a land deeply intertwined with human history and Vietnam’s millennia-long journey of nation-building and defence, Hoa Binh is often revered for its epic tales and legends.
Residents of Hoa Binh boast a rich cultural identity, reflected in their unique language, traditional attire, customs, and folk melodies – described as "sweet as honey, clear as a mountain stream.”
Lac Son district’s Vu ban town held the 2025 Truong Kha temple festival on April 12–13 (the 15th–16th days of the third lunar month). Since its revival in 2019, the festival has been organised every three years, preserving valuable intangible heritage while meeting the community’s cultural and spiritual needs.
The clothing of women reflects the culture of the Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Mong ethnic groups in the northern province of Hoa Binh.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
